The Buffalo Bills are coming off their fourth consecutive AFC East divisional title and fifth straight playoff spot, but they face a critical offseason as the team is expected to be approximately $50 million over the salary cap with 22 pending free agents.
Today’s Buffalo Rumblinks looks at how general manager Brandon Beane might spend his summer.
